1913- Bohr's Atomic Model
Niels Bohr is largely recognized for his atomic model and his contributions to the Manhattan Project and invention of the atom bomb.
Bohr expanded upon Rutherford's theories. He developed his model of the atomic structure, which shows a small, positively-charged nucleus surrounded by negatively-charged electrons that travel in circular orbits around the nucleus. https://www.physicsoftheuniverse.com/scientists_bohr.html -
1922- Nobel Peace Prize
Oddly enough, Bohr and Einstein both received Nobel peace prizes in the same year, in the same field. Nuclear Physics.
Bohr was responsible for discovering the missing element of the periodic table. Number 72, Hafnium. Hafnium is Latin for Copenhagen, his birthplace. -
1928- Complementarity Principle
Bohr's contribution to philosophy is shown by his Complementarity Principle. The principle holds that objects have certain pairs of complementary properties which cannot all be observed or measured simultaneously.
Bohr said it was pointless to study both and you should accept one of the areas of study as the correct results, without studying the other. This upset physicists and even Einstein himself said, "God does not play dice with the universe." interestingengineering.com
